Standardizing Sex

Trans Medicine, Activism, and the Scandinavian Welfare State - Öffentlicher Vortrag im Rahmen der Distinguished Lecturer Series des Sonderforschungsbereichs Sexdiversity am 19. November (16-18 Uhr, CBBM, Raum B1/B2 Levi-Montalcini)

We are pleased to invite you to our next Distinguished Lecturer Series (DLS) on 19 November 2026, featuring Dr. Ketil Slagstad (Charité Berlin).

In his lecture, “Standardizing Sex: Trans Medicine, Activism, and the Scandinavian Welfare State,” Ketil Slagstad will explore how medicine and state institutions sought to regulate sex throughout the twentieth century, and how trans people actively reshaped medical and political structures while advocating for their rights and access to healthcare.

Ketil Slagstad is a physician and historian at the Institute of the History of Medicine and Ethics in Medicine at Charité Berlin. His research focuses on the historical relationships between medical knowledge, patients, activists, and state institutions, particularly in the fields of trans medicine and HIV/AIDS.
